by Henry A. Strobel (Author)
Book description
From a review by John Dilworth in the April 1994 Strad Magazine "All (of his

1996 (The whole series of books) "Si tratta di volumi che hanno una finalit

una interessante initiativa editoriale, che ha in piu il vantaggio di prezzi
modesti." (I translate: ". . . These books are for the practical assistance

Coda to The Setup & Repair of the Double Bass for
Optimum Sound by Chuck Traeger (Author), Bill
Merchant (Illustrator), Henry Strobel (editor)
Book description
From the Prologue by Chuck Traeger: About the title, the dictionary
definition of the word coda is: music; A: a concluding passage, the function
of which is to bring a composition to a cogent and well-proportioned close.
My wife, June, suggested this title because that is exactly what I am doing
here. This booklet is the conclusion of my research and my writing. It is
not that there is no more to be done. It is that at eighty three I am
running out of the time to do it. From the back cover: Chuck Traeger has
continued his research into what makes a double bass sound and play at its
maximum potential with this CODA to his magnum opus, The Setup and Repair of
the Double Bass for Optimum Sound. Contained herein are new sound setup
discoveries and repair tips. The book also features pictures of ten signed
instruments by name makers, photographed by Bill Merchant. About the Author
Author Chuck Traeger is an artist bassist and expert repairer who operated a
top professional bass shop in New York City for many years. He was the
principal author, with David Brownell and Bill Merchant, of The Setup &
Repair of the Double Bass for Optimum Sound. In the 40s and 50s he performed
with the who's who of jazz in NYC - Sidney Bechet, Marian McPartland, Bunk
Johnson, Bob Wilber, Eddie Condon, etc. He later became a highly respected
bass repairman in New York City with clients from the NY Philharmonic to Ron
Carter. He is now retired in upstate New York with June, his wife of over
fifty years.

Four Centuries of Violin Making: Fine Instruments
from the Sotherby's Archive by Tim Ingles
(Author), John Dilworth (Author)
Book description
This publication features beautiful colour photographs of 225 fine stringed
instruments (violins, violas, cellos and double basses), by more than 75
important violin makers. As the leading auction house for stringed
instruments, Sotheby's has amassed one of the most extensive photo archives
of antique instruments, and this book illustrates the highlights of their
archive. In addition to featuring numerous examples from famous makers, such
as those of the Amati, Gagliano, Guarneri, Guadagnini and Stradivari
families, the book also includes important examples from lesser-known
makers, such as Gregorio Antoniazzi, Giovanni Maria del Bussetto, Felix Mori
Costa and Francesco Emiliani. Tim Ingles, head of Sotheby's Musical
Instruments Department, has written a brief biography of each of the 75
featured violin makers, incorporating results from modern research that is
shedding new light on the lives and interactions of these historical
figures. The introduction by John Dilworth gives an overview of the
evolution of violin making from its dawn in the 16th century to its current
state.

How to Improve the Resonance Conditions of Musical
Instruments by Vibration Dedamping by Gerhard A.
v. Reumont, Lothar Tews (traslator), Henry Strobel (editor)

Translated from the original German Violin makers and players have long
believed that violins, both when new and after long repose, need playing in.
In this short book Gerhard von Reumont explains his method for quickly doing
this by means of a mechanical device attached to the bridge. . . covers some
fascinating territory and proposes what may well be a valuable workshop
tool." Joseph Curtin in the August 2000 Strad Magazine, London

(Violin makers Keith and Ray Doerr use their mechanical engineering

This digital document is an article from Mechanical Engineering-CIME,

Citation Details Title: Instrumentation and the art of violin making.

(Refereed) Date: October 1, 1989 Publisher: American Society of Mechanical
Engineers INSTRUMENTATION AND The Art Of Violin Making By creating devices
to measure the properties of the wood, the Doerr brothers have brought their
expertise in mechanical engineering to bear on a centuries-old craft. Keith
and Ray Doerr, of Battle Creek, Mich., became involved in violin making some
55 years ago when their father, a skilled machinist, decided to make his
first violin. Ray has a degree in mechanical engineering from the University
of Michigan. He and his brother have retired from working in machine shops.
In the course of their experience, the brothers, neither of whom plays the
violin, discovered that a violin built to the dimensions specified in the
literature had only a four percent chance of producing a…

Making Stringed Instruments: A Workshop Guide
by George Buchanan (Author)
Book description
There is a dichotomy in this book. Only an experienced cabinetmaker would be
able to fill in the book's gaps and come up with a good-looking though not
necessarily playable instrument; yet, the book is apparently written for the
enthusiastic putterer who needs different saws and their uses identified.
The section on choosing woods, for instance, gives no more than general
guidelines; the brief section on varnishes is more concerned with looks than
sound. Scale drawings are negated being caught in the binding. This is truly
a do-it-yourself book. There is no mention of where a person could go for
further advice and no bibliography. Despite copious and clear line drawings
and a few photos, this is not recommended.

The Violin Explained: Components, Mechanism, and
Sound by James Beament (Author)
Book description
There are more curious beliefs about the violin than any other instrument.
Physicists have now discovered how the violin family produce their sound,
but this knowledge is not generally accessible to players and makers. In
this book, now available in paperback, Sir James Beament, a distinguished
scientist with a livelong involvement with musical instruments, explains,
without asssuming any scientific background, how strings vibrate, and the
role played by the bow, bridge, and body in producing sound. Those
discoveries do not give a satisfactory explanation of what we hear, and the
core of the book explains how the sound relates to the sensations it
produces. This leads to the conclusion that most of the myths about violins
are groundless, but also that nothing can be achieved by applying modern
technology to making or playing. Practical advice on strings, maintenance,
purchase and children's instruments completes the discussion.

Violin Making: A Practical Guide
by Juliet Barker (Author)
Book description
Aimed at both amateur and skilled woodworkers, this handsomely illustrated,
step–by–step guide brings the art of violin making within the reach of all.
Featuring 200 color photos and diagrams. From Stradivarius to the modern
day, violins have been revered as much for the beauty of their design as for
their music. Violin Making enables anyone, whether a beginner or a skilled
woodworker, to follow in the tradition of the Italian masters and,
literally, make their own music. The book includes: a short history of
violin making; an introduction to materials, design, and techniques;
chapters on each stage of making a violin, from the rib structure to
varnishing and stringing the instrument; tables of measurements, including
violins, violas, and cellos from quarter to full size; and 200 clear color
photos and diagrams. Juliet Barker trained at the Bavarian School of Violin
Making; she is a professional violin maker, restorer, and teacher.

Violin Varnish. A Plausible Re-creation of the
Varnish Used by the Italian Violin Makers Between the Years 1550 and 1750.
by Joseph Michelman
Book description
After more than eight years of extensive research on the varnish used by the
Italian Violin Makers from 1550 to 1750 A. D., it has not been possible to
corroborate the results in the chemical laboratory. This is due entirely to
the unavailability of samples of the varnish for confirmatory analysis.
Violins made by the Italian masters of this period are so valuable and so
scarce that a small sample of the varnish has not been procurable for
experimental purposes. Therefore, synthesis must precede analysis .... and
with no assistance from the latter.
